| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Excellent reliable phone
I've had this phone for years now and it has provided exceptional service during this time. We have the base unit and three handsets. I had to replace the batteries in each after and 3 1/2 years, but this is expected maintenance. I was delighted to find replacement batteries for a reasonable cost.
I don't understand the volume problems people have. Our handsets adjust from fairly quiet to fairly loud. I bought a cheap headset to use and that provides even clearer audio both inbound and outbound. It also always me to go out and weed the garden while I chin wag with my relatives. The range on these phones is excellent.
I would buy this phone again or one like it without hesitation. At this rate, though, I suspect I'll never have to. | 5 | Today | LOW SOUND. TERRIBLE
I......bought this phone because of its name. The price was right at the time of my purchase since it was (returned item sale). Well....BIG MISTAKE. I CAN NOT HEAR the other party~!!! HEEEELLLLOOO???? I am tossing this away, and search for new, better sound quality one. Now, I am double cautious about Panasonic phone, even I still want to trust the brand. (Sony sucked.....I do not like Made in USA of anything = JUNK). | 1 | Today | Great phone. Really. It just has volume control.
We've had this phone for years. In pre-wireless times, we had a Panasonic phone/answering machine combo. Our experience with Panasonic phones is that they're incredibly reliable, and have useful features that are intuitive to program. I only spotted all the crummy reviews because I was about to buy another handset. Yes, that's how much we like the phone. We're not throwing it away or trading it in. FINALLY, if you can't hear anyone, there's a pair of little buttons on the main base labeled "VOLUME"; if you push the one with the up arrow a couple of times, not only with you be able to hear better, but the little display will show you the volume level (1=quiet; 8=loudest). Hope this helps. | 5 | Today | It's a VTECH!
I originally bought this Panasonic and returned it because of poor sound quality. But before I returned it, I purchased the new V-tech model available for $... at target. It had all the same features, and I was going to compare the two. They are the *exact* same phone. Same display, same menus, same rings, even the synthesized voice on the voicemail system is the same. There is a curious difference though, the V-tech has way better sound quality. Don't throw your money away on the Panasonic. But the V-tech for less and get better sound. I opened up the phone, and the components are the same. Panasonic and V-tech are probably just buying these from a 3rd party, putting custom cases on them, and reselling them. Maybe the V-tech has a better speaker and mic though, because it's much better sounding. | 2 | Today | Stay Away
Extremely disappointed with this product. The handset volume is too low, even though the setting is set to receive the maximum volume. The handset speakerphone performed ok initially, but since is practically inoperable. The slightest backround noise cancels conversation with the other end and replaces talk with silence. Impossible to rest the phone on a shoulder to talk without depressing the off button on your cheek. The handset is a little small. No problems with answering machine. Fortunately I never purchased additional handsets for the unit. I wanted this phone to perform considering I took my time researching several products and thought I selected a good one. I defended my choice for a while, although every person who used the phone had their complaints about volume, etc. Should have listened to them and returned while I had the chance, however I did not use the phone much to form an solid opinion. | 1 | Today | Very Disappointed with Panasonic
I received the KX-TG1050N multi-phone system as an anniversary present. It was still in the factory sealed package - brand new and never opened. I set up the unit and let it charge over night. When I anxiously started using the handset, there was no display. I found the handset to have a crack in the display from the top to the bottom, but no outward apperance of being crushed. The clear cover over the display was not scratched or cracked in any way. I contacted customer services, who had me send the handset to a factory repair site in Texas...after I bought another handset...I received a letter saying that the handset was abused and that they would not repair it under warranty, but would repair it for $[money] When I contacted them, and after being put on hold for more than 25 minutes long distance, they told me that whenever they receive a handset with a cracked display, it is automatically assumed that it has been abused and therefore not covered under the warranty. I was very disheartened by this experience with Panasonic. I have several Panasonic appliances, but I will never buy any Panasonic product again. | 1 | Today | Great phone that has gotten a bad rap...
I have spent the last few weeks trying to find a phone that I really liked. I wanted to find one with many features, yet still be of good quality. That is not an easy task... I have tried various phones from Vtech, Motorola and Siemens. So far, this phone has been the best in features, user friendliness, and quality. It seems many people have given it a one star rating. This is just so wrong. I normally would of given it a four star rating, but I boosted to five only to give this phone a better average. The low scores were not fair to it... Let me first address the volume issues that some many people have complained about. Yes, there is a way to adjust the volume loudness on the handset despite what some others have said. I will agree that even at the highest setting it is *slighty* a little low but it is nowhere near as bad as what everyone else has said. I have no problems hearing the calls. I think the main problem is getting the speaker to line up with your ear correctly. This phone has a very small footprint. It is similar in size to a small/medium sized cell phone. I have used some cell phones that were small and it was hard to line up the speaker correctly until you got used to it. If you do not have the speaker in the *sweet spot* it is of course going to sound to low. There is also the issue of low voltage in your area. I cannot comment on this issue. I live in a small town so perhaps I am not affected by the low voltage, low volume problem. The range of this phone is better than any other 2.4 ghz I have thus tested. The handset features a nice feature called "range extender". It can be set to off/on/auto. It will drain your battery quicker when enabled but if you keep it on auto it will only come on when you need a signal boost. The answering machine recording quality is not great, but it is adequate. It features three mailboxes and is easy to use. Overall, I am happy with this phone. It is better than the vtech model that looks similar to it. If you decide to buy one, just make sure that you can return it easily in case you have issues with the volume on the handset. I do not have any issues with it so far. Very nice phone! | 5 | Today | SO Disappointed with Phone and Company
... It was still in the factory sealed package - brand new, never opened. I can't take it back of course and I wouldn't sell it to someone else because it is a piece of junk. Panasonic will not fix it or let me return it because I do not have a receipt. The problems are like everyone else says.... the volume is too low and the white noise makes it even worse. I have two young children and the house is never quiet enough to hear on any of these handsets. The house really has to be completely quiet in order to use these phone. I have to use the headset in order to hear... My FIL wears a hearing aid and cannot use these phones at all! When he is here he has to use our cell phones. I would use the speaker phone but it cuts in and out and so it is worthless also. Panasonic is completely unsympathetic. They told me to disconnect the phones, leave them off for one minute, clean the connectors. I did that, but it didn't make a difference. I also charged the phone up originally in the proper manner that someone else mentioned. My phones are not near any other electrical appliances. Nope, it's just a piece of junk. I read the reviews on Amazon but thought I could get past the complaints because all the phones seemed to have some complaints. I figured this one had the fewest. So believe me when I say, DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. | 1 | Today | What? I Can't Hear You!
Like other's who have posted here, my phone is going back to the store today. After having nearly every caller tell me that they couldn't hear me, and finding no way to adjust the volume any louder, I went out and bought a different phone. Also, because of the design of the keypad, would constantly brush the keys against my face and inadvertantly hang up on callers. Good idea, bad design. | 1 | Today | Potentially, A Great Phone
This attractively designed phone has all of the features that most people would ever need. However, considering the price of the unit, there are several major disappointments. The greatest disappointment of all is the inadequate volume setting for the handset. Even at the highest setting, the volume is too low. I found that I had to switch to the handset's speakerphone in order to adequately hear the other party. I returned the phone for that very reason. I was also displeased with the sound quality through the handset. Last of all, it would have been nice had Panasonic designed the phone so that the base unit would also function as a speakerphone. | 3 | Today |
